The moment a new pope is elected, what we know about Pope Leo XIV, the U.S. and China hold trade talks over the weekend.

Trade negotiators from the U.S. and China are starting talks this weekend in Switzerland. These are the first high-level trade talks between the two countries since President Trump returned to the White House.

Pope Leo XIV is truly a pope of the Americas. He's a dual citizen, of the United States and Peru, where people are ecstatic about his elevation to pontiff.

Three months ago, President Trump signed an executive order telling white Afrikaans South Africans they could apply for refugee status in the U.S. The first group has been swiftly processed and is set to arrive on U.S. soil Monday
